UPDATE (noon PT): Facebook has now rectified this issue.

Mashable reader Ben Kerin has noticed an odd change on Facebook that began last night: those importing their Twitter feeds into the service no longer see their links as clickable.
In short: if you're posting web links (Bit.ly, TinyURL) to your Twitter feed and using the Twitter Facebook app to share those updates on Facebook too, none of those links are hyperlinked. Your friends will need to copy and paste the links into a browser to make them work.
If this is a design decision on Facebook's part, it's an extremely odd one: we'd like to think it's an inconvenient bug, and we have a mail in to Facebook to check. Suffice to say, the issue is site-wide: it's not just you.
